Following up with one of my previous posts about how our Software Development Capstone class will be working alongside with OpenMRS and AMPATH on some type of possible software that can be used within their medical system, I have recently started learning the basics of Angular 2. Angular 2 is the primary programming language used by OpenMRS so that is the language that is being requested for us to code in.

From the tutorials I have been following so far, it seems fairly simple to catch onto so far so that is a relief. One fascinating thing I’ve noticed is the similarity of Angular 2 and HTML. I’ve coded in HTML before and I was surprised to see that Angular 2 has the same syntax when it comes to the opening and closing brackets. Now I might just be ignorant to web programming languages and maybe all web programming languages follows that same syntax but whether or not that is the case; Angular 2 will be easier for me to learn than I had initially thought.

Just as a side note, I have started using WebStorm for JavaScript coding and so far it’s pretty good. I like the design and layout of the program, it kind of reminds me of the design layout of Komodo Edit.
